The nocturnal animals that passed under us were a constant parade. I pointed them out, raccoon, a pair o...

A Soldier's Life - 82 - A Walk in the Woods

Chapter 82 A Walk in the WoodsMy room was still dark and quiet when I opened my eyes, and I brought out my glow stone. I quietly moved into the bathing room and barred the door.

Ok so I did ask something similar on Royal Road. The time has come for Eryk to have intimate relations with a woman. It is not a smut novel so I prob will not be overly descriptive.

A Soldier's Life - 80 -

Chapter 80The next course was thinly sliced sugar beets, baked on top of dense pasta in a cheesy but oily sauce. It added a sweetness and crunch to the Roman mac’n’cheese.

Chapter 78 City of SobralI lay there as the night insects opened their chorus, and the whispers of the sentries drifted to me.

A Soldier's Life - 73 - Reunited

A Soldier's Life - 66 - Verdict
